March 31, 201016 yr Earlier today, I was pitching ideas to my friend, Noah about a new Coney Island website... Wacky! I feel this website is much, much better than the current Kings Island website. Edit- I'm wondering if Moonlight Gardens could ever be reopened for public dancing. I know it might be tough to keep the 'riff raff' out, but they did solve similar problems in the 1910s- 1920s...
March 31, 201016 yr Author Oh, but Coney does have dances still. See this page: http://www.coneyislandpark.com/dances.php.
March 31, 201016 yr The site is great! I'm very surprised its so complex. The only thing I would have to say I don't like about it is is they don't have pictures of the rides like the old site did.
March 31, 201016 yr Author And that is why you need to check out Coney Island Central! We have dozens of pictures of the rides in there, including historical pictures. If you have any historical pictures from Coney Island and are willing to share them, let me know. And keep checking Coney Island Central. There will be some updates in the coming days.
March 31, 201016 yr Looks great, nice colors for the site as well. Makes me ready for the new KI site to be up.
April 1, 201016 yr The new site looks great. I love seeing old pictures of the park, so the historical photo gallery was nice to see. Like Firehawk123, I just wish the official park site had ride photos. That always helps in planning, especially for someone who hasn't been before. I'm looking forward to getting there again this year. As far as I know, my company picnic should be there again (although no date's been set yet), and we had fun at Fall O Ween last year.
April 1, 201016 yr Author Speaking of Fall O Ween, according to Coney`s operating calendar, the Fall O Ween Festival is slated to be extended to three weekends this year, as opposed to the typical two weekends the last several years. It will be held the last weekend in September and the first two weekends in October.
April 1, 201016 yr That's good news! With all that we have going on that time of year, it's nice to have more opportunities to get down there!
